Product Information

Full details

The Sealskinz Skeyton Waterproof Knitted Gauntlet is designed for adults seeking reliable hand protection in cold, wet conditions. Its primary benefit is maintaining dry, warm, and aerated hands through advanced waterproofing and breathability. A potential caveat is that its knitted construction may offer less extreme durability than fully synthetic gauntlets for very rough use. This glove features Aquasealz technology for complete waterproofness, extended sleeves to prevent cold ingress, and a silicone-printed palm for enhanced grip.

FAQs

Are these gloves truly waterproof?

Yes, the Skeyton gloves feature Sealskinz's signature Aquasealz technology, which provides a 100% waterproof barrier while remaining breathable.

Can I use these gloves for very cold temperatures?

These gloves are designed for cold, wet weather. While they offer insulation, for extreme sub-zero conditions, consider layering with a thinner liner glove if needed.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The gloves should fit snugly but not be uncomfortably tight. Your fingers should reach the end of the glove without pressing against the tip, and there should be no significant excess material. Refer to the brand's sizing guide for specific measurements.

How do I clean mud or dirt off the gloves?

You can generally wipe off light dirt with a damp cloth. For more significant dirt, follow the machine washing instructions provided in the 'Care' section.

Will the material wear out quickly with heavy use?

While the knitted wool offers comfort and warmth, it may be less resistant to abrasion than heavy-duty synthetic materials. For extremely demanding or abrasive activities, consider more robust glove options.

Can these gloves be used with touchscreens?

The product description does not specify touchscreen compatibility. Standard knitted gloves may offer limited functionality with touchscreens.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel damp inside

Ensure gloves are completely dry before storing. If used for strenuous activity, the dampness might be perspiration; ensure proper fit and consider taking short breaks to air hands if needed. Always follow care instructions for thorough drying.

Reduced grip performance

Check the silicone-printed palm and fingers for dirt or debris. Gently wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh cleaners on the grip areas.

Stiffness after washing

This can sometimes occur with natural fibers. Ensure you are not using fabric softener. Gently hand-stretch the gloves while damp and allow them to air dry. They should regain flexibility with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit; overly tight gloves can impede circulation and reduce warmth.
